fix(ci): repair unparseable permissions scalar (2 workflow file(s))

[hyperpolymath]

permissions: read-all followed by an indented actions: read is a YAML
parse error. The workflow never starts, so it emits no check run — a
required context silently never reports, and this repository currently looks
greener than a repaired one.

read-all already grants actions: read, so removing the stray line is a
semantic no-op. Each file was verified with a real YAML parser: it fails
yq before the change and parses after it. Every diff is exactly one deleted line.

Files changed: cargo-audit.yml workflow-linter.yml

Measured estate-wide: 42 such files across 28 repositories on main, all
carrying the identical stray key. Zero overlap with the TokenPermissions sweep.

When Cargo Audit fails, the issue-creation job can fail at checkout instead of opening the intended issue. Add read access to repository contents before merging.

With the YAML repaired, create-issue can now run, but its job-level permissions grants only issues: write. If that map overrides the workflow-level read-all permissions, actions/checkout has no contents: read token and the job fails before it can create an issue. Add contents: read alongside issues: write at the job level.
